Edit:Meant to say "Remnants" in the title. What do people feel about this? In particular, why is AIT still being taught in schools? http://tharsis-tholus.tumblr.com/post/140669902724/colonialism-of-the-mind

It sucks when they copy tunes from punjabi and other songs. All the melodies in this album are copied. The video looks very unprofessional, rookie type. I wish they could find original composers. The singer is not bad though. The following is a better video; although the tune is copied from the...

tau ramphal ne phone lagva liya. Kai din ho liye the phone kani dekhte nai, ek din fer ghanti baji - tau ke dhabbi bhuganne ka phone tha. Ramphal bolya "koon sai rai" ? Awaaj aai "are main bolun soon". Tau bola "re kamal hogya - ure te bhi main e bolon soon !" Cheers!

I don't believe this is for real ! google finds many links where people have commented on this. Looks like there was no recording done at the chicago parliament of religions in 1893 and the audio being circulated is of someone who reread vivekananda's speach - ofcourse much more recently. I...

Coming back to the essence of the thread, I think the following look more feasible to me - 1. Some form of MRTS. Imagine a vast, well organised labyrinthine network of under/over/on ground tracks running fast trains. Current maglev (magnetic levitation) trains run at speeds in access of 450...

Main peshe se to bhautic shashtri nahi hun kintu is vishay ka premi avashya hun. I absolutely love physics. Sure, we should have a thread on physics - I am sure l'll get to learn a lot. -Vikas

I was left agape reading this ! Can't believe such things still happen in India. This region must be worse than Afganistan ! -Vikas

LOL...kasuta tha bhi rai !

Good sense of humour Vinod sahab! Cheers! -Vikas

15 August Swatantrata diwas ki badhaiyan! Abhinav Shukla ki ek kavita yahan likh raha hun. Cheers! -Vikas bharat kyon teri sanson ke, swar aahat se lagte hain abhi jiyale parvano me, aag bahut si baki hai kyon teri aankhon me paani, aakar thehra thehra hai jab teri nadiyon ki lehren, dol...

Ostensibly there are some folks who teach ragnis and sangs. Pandit Lakhmichand used to be one. But I don't know any contemporary ones. Major hurdles in keeping ragnis alive are (ofcourse in my miopic view) - 1. Lack of recognition of this music form. 2. Lack of interest for music in rural...

Only a Jat can write such stuff ...:-) You got carried away once again dude - this time into guilt conscience. Jats are soft people - "bhole bhale" hote hain. Please don't take my words too seriously. This was my reflexive response to your post. Cheers! -Vikas

Anuj, You bring up a good point. However these marriages to non-jat women cannot be placed in the same category as "intercaste marriages". The reason being that it is arising out of a grave problem - worsening male:female ratio - which is the topic of discussion here. People are discussing the...

I am delighted to see some ragni fans here. So let me ask my question once again here (I had posted it in the "haryanavi music" section earlier). Do we have any gurus teaching this form of music somewhere in jatland (or elsewhere) ? I am kinda interested in knowing more about the musical form...

Good one Vinod. Sehrawat sahab, you reminded me of wordsworth by quoting the lines from one of his masterpieces - daffodils. Here is the complete poem: I wandered lonely as a cloud That floats on high o'er vales and hills, When all at once I saw a crowd...
